Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025OPPOSE
“I believe this misguided legislation will have devastating impacts on our financial stability, national security, and investor protection. While my Republican friends claim that this bill will regulate crypto market structure, in reality, it eviscerates the longstanding history of investor protections that have made our markets the envy of the world. Most importantly, this bill, this push for crypto, will not end well for the U.S. taxpayer.”

Anti-CBDC Surveillance State ActOPPOSE
“At the expense of U.S. global economic leadership, this misguided legislation would prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency, also known as a CBDC. Unfortunately, the facts surrounding the development of CBDC have been obscured by disinformation, conspiracy theories, and extreme political ideology. Republicans and the crypto industry have made unfounded claims that a CBDC will be used as a surveillance tool by the Federal Government. Let's be clear about what a CBDC is.”
